Tanukis
by Grimwitch
Tanukis adds a single passive mob, the tanuki, which spawns in bamboo jungles and cherry groves on Forge.
What it does
Tanukis is a simple mod that adds one new mob, the tanuki, to the world. In the game, tanukis appear naturally in bamboo jungles and cherry groves. Players can tame and breed them by offering cooked meat, and a dyed bandana changes the colour of a tanuki. The creature is based on the design of the VTuber Tanukiyomi, used with her permission. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it, and it is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source. Files are published for Forge across 1.20.1 – 1.20.4.
